    Apparently you can't drink coffee out of a mug and keep that mug in the kitchen. That's all we've really been told so that's all I got.

    I envision Star Wars posters everywhere and a miniature North Korean dictator screaming orders into a megaphone.

    It's good. We like what we work on. We like the people we work with. We get paid decent wages.

    It should be obvious by the number of people who leave, and then return to Cryptic that it's not a bad place to be.

    They have to get keys from the C-Store just to power up their work PC's.


    Edit: And when they get a key that actually allows them to do work on the PC, a notice flashes across everyone's phones saying something like "Taco Boy can now work on his machine."

    Just don't mention anything about when's the next batch of KDF content coming out, and you'll be fine.

    If not, it's the dungeon at basement 3 for you.

    I reckon it'd be a little like something out of Schindler's List. With the whole I don't want to create a single product that works idea! But instead of putting out faulty bombs, it's more false promises and buggy content and regular server crashes lol.

    I do pity that some part of the otherwise great organization seems to be understaffed or something.

    I believe all the promises made regarding content were made in good faith but -something- stopped them from becoming reality.

    The small features and the obvious fixes were jumped on really quick so there are people who want to give the community the best they can. But on the operational level... they need to do less fire-fighting and more blitzkrieging to shock and awe us :P

    I understand they have built all their furniture out of the old DVDs left behind from when their offices used to be a Netflix distribution center.

    I guess working for cryptic in the content... I mean real content department must be really sweet... with 2 FE a year they should be able to spend at least 90% of their time at work sitting in the lounge, eating donuts and watching all series and movies one after another to get some more inspiration. :p

    I'd have loved to have found out, but alas...

    But you would be working on a Star Trek video game. What part of that job description isn't cool?

    Employee 1: Hey guys, I've noticed we've gotten a ton of feedback asking for us to stop the spam about the people who just won a Galor ...

    Rest of people at team meeting: ... <cricket chirps>
